Chapter 1 On Safety

SDP-Eco 1630 III was designed and manufactured with special attention to

safety considerations. However, it is impossible either to eliminate all

potential sources of danger from such products or to anticipate all possible

hazards and misuses. It is therefore critical that you both familiarize

yourself, all your operators and other relevant personnel with all of the noted

precautions, countermeasures and related procedures, and take maximum

care when operating this machine.

1.1 When using the machine

• Grounding connection

- In order to prevent

electric shock at the AC

power supply unit, be

sure to connect the

ground in accordance

with operation site

regulations (resistance:

less than 100 ohms)

using the SDP-Eco 1630

III exclusive wire.

- Even when the user's

present facility outlet can

be with the SDP-Eco 1630 III power plug with ground, make sure that

the ground pole on the outlet is connected with ground in accordance

with operation site regulations (resistance: less than 100 ohms)

Following all relevant local wiring regulations, prepare a grounded

(less than 100 ohms) power supply outlet that can accept this

machine's power plug.

• Power supply

- Prepare a power supply that satisfies all the requirements stipulated in

the specification sheet.

- Always provide circuit breakers for unit or devices that use water or

chemicals.

- Please entrust all wiring, connections and other electrical work to an

authorized electrician.

•

Maintenance and safe passage during emergencies

A minimum of 60 cm clearance is required around the machine at all

times to afford adequate space for maintenance and safe passage during

emergencies. Never allow this space to become blocked with any

objects, wires, or other obstacles.

Warning

SDP-Eco1630 III USERS MANUAL

Chapter 1 On Safety

• This machine incorporates a power supply unit.

Do not use a bubble type extinguisher when a fire occurs. It may cause

electric shocks. Place a powder type extinguisher near the machine.

• The SDP-Eco 1630 III is equipped with a leakage circuit breaker.

If a short circuit occurs in the machine, the breaker is automatically

activated and shuts off the circuit.

Occasionally the main unit will not activate when you turn ON the

Power Switch because the leakage breaker inside the main unit

has turned itself OFF.

In such a case, contact your local dealer where you purchased the

machine and ask a service person to check out the condition.

• This machine incorporates high current electrical circuits.

Touching the electrical circuits of this machine with any part of your

body can cause serious injury or death. Please contact the dealer where

you purchased this machine when maintenance or inspections are

required.

•

Safety switches

To ensure operator safety, this machine is provided with safety switches.

If a front door is opened while the machine is running, a safety switch is

activated and operation is immediately stopped.

(Refer to "Chapter 2 Names of Machine Component and Parts".)

Warning

Chapter 1 On Safety

• LASER SAFETY.

The SDP-Eco1630 III is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S.

Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation

Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and

Safety Act of 1968. This means that the recorder does not produce

hazardous laser radiation.

Since radiation emitted inside the SDP-Eco1630 III is completely

confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam

can not escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

• CDRH REGULATIONS.

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S.

Food and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products

on August 2, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in

the United States. The level shown in the figure indicates compliance

with the CDRH regulations and must be attached to laser products

marketed in the United States.

•

For European model

The SDP-Eco1630 III is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT in

accordance with IEC Pub 1.1 825 1984.

Ordinary operation will not release laser radiation into the work

environment. Do not remove any of the safety covers for this product or

release any of its interlock switches. Laser radiation may cause injuries to

your body (e.g. weakened eyesight, skin cancer).

1.2 Warning labels and attachment positions

Warning labels are attached to dangerous parts or areas of the machine. All

operators and maintenance personnel must follow the instructions written on

these labels.

- Do not remove or deface any of these warning labels.

- Labels must always be clearly visible without any obstacles shielding or

obscuring them.

- If a label is removed or defaced, replace it with a new warning label as

soon as possible. Please contact the dealer where you purchased this

machine for new labels.

1.3 Handling processing chemicals

The SDP-Eco 1630 III uses processing chemicals to activate and

stabilize exposed plates. The processing chemicals used in this

machine are not generally dangerous to humans, but failure to use

them in the correct manner is dangerous. Be sure to handle all

processing chemicals with care.

Cautions for use of processing chemicals

Inflammation may occur if processing chemicals come in contact

with the eyes or skin, so be sure to wear protective gear (safety

goggles and rubber gloves) when handling the chemicals.

Keep out of reach of children.

What to do in case of emergency

If chemicals come in contact with the eyes, immediately rinse with

clean running water for at least 15 minutes. If the inflammation

persists, consult an eye specialist.

If chemicals come in contact with the skin, immediately rinse under

clean running water.

If chemicals are swallowed, immediately consult a physician.

Report the ingredients of the chemical or solution to the physician.

Cautions for handling waste chemicals

These chemicals have high COD and pH levels (especially the

activator) and cannot be disposed of by simply pouring them down

the drain. Please have processing chemicals removed by a

certified waste management specialist.

1.5 Operation precautions

• Do not turn the machine's power supply ON or start operation until this

manual has been thoroughly read and fully understood.

• All operators must wear appropriate work clothing and should never wear

necklaces, scarves, or other accessories which could be caught by moving

parts and cause accidents.

• Do not operate the machine if you feel in anyway sick, nauseous or

unsteady.

• If you notice that the machine is in any way abnormal, immediately report

the situation to your supervisor for appropriate action.

• The SDP-Eco 1630 III can perform continuous automatic operation, but it

must not be operated continuously without an operator in attendance.

An operator trained to take appropriate initial corrective actions should

always be in attendance to deal immediately with any emergencies that

may arise.

• When your SDP-Eco 1630 III will not be operated for an extended period

of time, be sure to unplug the power cord. Check for any dust or

contamination in the outlet, power plug, and/or the AC power socket on

your SDP-Eco 1630 III at least once a year.

• During operation, do not open any of the unit's doors or covers. Opening

these doors or covers may be hazardous to the safety of operators and

other persons working in the vicinity, and may also damage the machine.

• Power failure

If a power failure occurs due to an external reason, immediately turn OFF

the power switch and the SDP-Eco 1630 III.

When power is recovered, supply power again, referring to "4.2 Turning

ON the power switch".
